Indeed, it creeps in like a thief and ‘snatches away’ sight silently and painlessly.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world.

UP-Tuks 1 are a significant step closer to the 2013 Varsity Cup semi-finals after beating UJ on Monday in a true 80-minute Johannesburg thriller.
Fortune changed hands twice in the last four minutes after UJ first took the lead for the very first time with only four minutes to go to full time (29-26).
The enthusiasm of the big and boisterous home crowd did not last long, however, as UP-Tuks struck back in the second-last minute with a spectacular try by left winger Courtnall Skosan that was initiated through brilliant individual play by the hooker and ‘Player that Rocks’, Bongi Mbonambi.

The University’s Piazza at the Student Centre was abuzz with students as they took their time to attend to the most neglected part of their being, which is health. Students participated and undertook screening tests for various health risks such as blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, also confirming their blood group. They responded to an Open Day on Student Health and Wellness organised by the Department of Student Affairs.
